The analytic studies have shown that the relationships between religion and Polish foreign policy could be observed in all the dimensions mentioned by the theoretical ap- proaches, i.e. in the dimension of influence of religious ideas, religious entities and institutions, in the field of presence of religious elements on the agenda of foreign policy, and with reference to religious diplomacy. The impact of religious ideas was limited to the generally interpreted Christianity. Religious entities would strongly prefer to exert their influence from the level of meta-politics than to do this by direct means. Among all the institutions, only the electoral system played a relatively significant role in the introduction of religious components to foreign policy, yet only in the initial period. The presence of religious elements on the agenda of the foreign policy was not permanent and was actually limited to a few initiatives. Similarly, religious diplomacy does not seem to be a methodology that is deeply rooted in Poland’s political culture, and it is not really accepted by the religious entities. Keywords: Poland, religion, Christianity, religious actors, foreign policy, po- litical agenda, religious diplomacy Introduction The research papers in the field of political studies and international rela- tions, published during the recent 10+ years, indicate the growing number and importance of religious actors on the international stage and higher awareness of the fact that religion has established its position for good in certain political cir- cles. Until recently, researchers would focus on studying the role of the religious factor in international relations, military conflicts, building peace and activities of international organizations. For several years, their area of interest has been ex- panded with foreign policy. The primary point of interest for research in the field is the state and the role of religion in forming the state’s foreign policy.

This research covers all the areas in which a state’s foreign policy is created and developed2. The follow- ing researchers are among the most significant ones working in the field: Thomas J. Carty3, Jeffrey Haynes4, Walter Russell Mead5, John J. Mearsheimer, Stephen M. Walt6, Jack Miles7, Carolyn M. Warner, and Stephen G. Walker8. Their studies focus on those states where religion has a significant effect on foreign policies: United States, India, and Iran. The presence of the religious factor can also be noticed in Poland’s foreign policy. Studies on this fact are, however, at a very early stage right now. The only papers in the field which can be referenced here are the studies by Alic- ja Curanović, aimed at defining the role of religion in the development of the geopolitical frame of reference used by Poland in its relationships with Russia9, and the papers by Piotr Pochyły and Jarosław Macała. The former focused on the declarative expressions of religious affiliation of the Polish state in the field of foreign policy10, the latter on the role of religion in the Polish geopolitical codes functioning in foreign policy11. This paper expands the field of research, with the objective of answering the following questions: what impact religion had on the Polish foreign policy; which measures were implemented within the framework of that policy involving religion as their objects; and which measures met the criteria of religious diplomacy. Through the achievement of that goal, we will ar- rive at a map of the key points of contact between religion and the Polish foreign policy. The analytic studies cover the period of 2001-2020, i.e. the time during which, following the 11 September 2001 events, the religious factor increased in significance, until the present day. In this paper, the religious factor should be interpreted as the impact of religious ideas, the activity of religious institutions (organizations) and people with religious motivations who act individually or in 2 Nukhet A.

Foreign policy is defined here as the state’s formal policy concerning the military, economic, humanitarian, social and cultural dimensions of its relations with other countries and with international actors. The studies were carried out on the basis of Government documents, official statements by representatives of the Polish Government, documents issued by various religious entities, press coverage, and literature on the subject. Following the theoretical context pre- sented in Section 1 of the article, the following sections will analyze the ways in which religion influences the Polish foreign policy, religion as the object of that policy, and measures constituting the Polish foreign policy which meet the crite- ria of religious diplomacy. Theoretical perspectives Within the framework of political studies, research of the links between re- ligion and a state’s foreign policy focus on the three following issues: the im- pact of religion on foreign policy; religion as the object of foreign policy; and religious diplomacy. Research on the impact of religion on foreign policy12 are aimed at demonstrating that religion is relevant as a variable that helps the ex- planation or understanding of the state’s foreign policy (why certain decisions were taken regarding specific goals, measures, etc.); moreover, they try to dis- cover the mechanisms of the impact of religion and the circumstances in which the process operates. Interesting studies in the field were conducted by Carolyn M. Warner and Stephen G. Walker, who proposed an analytical frame applicable on the grounds of the four international relations theories: realism, liberalism, institutionalism, and constructivism. The frame encompasses the following six dimensions of analysis: foreign policy; agents (subjective causality); power; inter- ests; institutions; and ideas (culture). Warner and Walker came to the conclusion that if religion is expected to produce a visible effect in foreign policy, its influ- ence, whether direct or indirectly, via culture, must encompass the beliefs and intentions of agents operating in that policy’s domain. Moreover, the impact of religion on foreign policy can be mediated by institutions (organizations, state structures) or interests (of political parties, groups, the general public); it can be integrated with the force the state has in its specific geopolitical position13. On the grounds of realism, where an anarchic nature of international rela- tions is presumed, meaning that every state is pursuing its survival, i.e. protection 12 The impact of religion can be presented in either of the two ways: in terms of cause-and-effect relations (whenever a specific

  • Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

  • The Voting Systems in the Council of the EU and the Bundesrat – What Do They Tell Us About European Federalism? by Jacek Czaputowicz and Marcin Kleinowski
    ISSN: 2036-5438 The voting systems in the Council of the EU and the Bundesrat – What do they tell us about European Federalism? by Jacek Czaputowicz and Marcin Kleinowski Perspectives on Federalism, Vol. 10, issue 1, 2018 Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E -174 Abstract The Treaty of Lisbon introduced a new system of weighted votes in the Council, which radically departs from the principles on which the distribution of votes between the Member States of the EU was based for more than half a century. At the same time, the system of double majority is fundamentally different from the assumptions on which voting systems in federal states are based, including in the Bundesrat. Systems used in federal states are usually based on a compromise between the equality of states, and the equality of citizens. Consequently, in the Nice system, smaller Member States in the EU had relatively greater power compared to their populations than smaller federal units in the German Bundesrat. The results presented in this paper indicate that the Lisbon system of voting in the Council differs significantly from voting systems in federal states.

Introduction Is the European Union evolving towards a federal system? Evidence speaking for the European Union being similar to a federation includes: EU institutions taking over competences previously held by states; the principle of supremacy of European law and its direct effect in national law; and cooperation between federal institutions and the constituent units in executing various tasks.I What speaks against this thesis is: the lack of a European constitution; of the right to impose taxes; as well as the fact that states retain their membership in international organisations, such as the UN.

  • Zaufanie Do Polityków W Kwietniu
    Warszawa, kwiecień 2013 BS/53/2013 ZAUFANIE DO POLITYKÓW W KWIETNIU Znak jakości przyznany CBOS przez Organizację Firm Badania Opinii i Rynku 11 stycznia 2013 roku Fundacja Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej ul. Żurawia 4a, 00-503 Warszawa e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] http://www.cbos.pl (48 22) 629 35 69 Największym zaufaniem Polaków niezmiennie cieszy się prezydent Bronisław Komorowski. W kwietniu1 zaufanie do głowy państwa zadeklarowało 70% ankietowanych, a więc dokładnie tyle samo, co w dwóch poprzednich miesiącach. Na dobrą pamięć Polaków zasłużył, jak się okazuje, były prezydent Aleksander Kwaśniewski, który po wieloletniej przerwie ponownie włączył się w nurt bieżącej polityki, patronując lewicowej inicjatywie Europa Plus. Według deklaracji uzyskanych w pierwszej dekadzie kwietnia 2013 roku, Aleksandrowi Kwaśniewskiemu ufa 54% ankietowanych. Zaufanie do pozostałych osób aktywnych na scenie politycznej kształtuje się na znacznie niższym poziomie. Niezmiennie zaliczający się do ścisłej czołówki naszego rankingu Ryszard Kalisz oraz najlepiej oceniany spośród przedstawicieli rządzącej koalicji szef MSZ Radosław Sikorski cieszą się zaufaniem mniej niż połowy badanych. Wykluczonemu ostatnio z SLD Ryszardowi Kaliszowi ufa 46% respondentów, nieco mniej osób (43%) deklaruje zaufanie do szefa polskiej dyplomacji. Kolejne miejsca na liście najczęściej obdarzanych zaufaniem polityków zajmują: lider SLD Leszek Miller (36%), wiceprzewodniczący PO Grzegorz Schetyna (35%), premier Donald Tusk i przewodniczący Solidarnej Polski Zbigniew Ziobro (po 34% deklaracji zaufania) oraz prezes PiS Jarosław Kaczyński (33%). Nieco rzadziej z zaufaniem respondentów spotykają się inni prominentni politycy rządzącej koalicji: minister sprawiedliwości Jarosław Gowin (31%), marszałek Sejmu Ewa Kopacz (30%) oraz szef PSL, wicepremier i minister gospodarki Janusz Piechociński (28%). Prawie jedna czwarta badanych ufa liderowi NSZZ „Solidarność” Piotrowi Dudzie (24%) i niemal tyle samo (23%) deklaruje zaufanie do szefa sejmowego zespołu ds.

  • In Annual Speeches of the Republic of Poland Ministers of Foreign Affairs After 2001
    Przegląd Strategiczny 2017, nr 10 Piotr POCHYŁY DOI : 10.14746/ps.2017.1.12 University of Zielona Góra THE CONCEPT OF “SECURITY” IN ANNUAL SPEECHES OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AFTER 2001 The purpose of the publication is to present how the concept of security has been de- fined in annual speeches of Poland’s foreign ministers after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Research problem: the impact of the international situation on ways of ensuring Po- land’s security in the annual speeches of Polish foreign ministers. Apart from the as- pect of classically understood security, the analysis also covers modern categories of security that is economic, public, ecological, energy or food security. The temporal range is from 2001 to 2017. Following the definition in the Polish Language Diction- ary published by PWN I define “security” as “the state of non-threat” (Bezpieczeństwo, 2017). * * * Every year foreign ministers of Poland give their annual speeches – officially known as the Information of the Foreign Minister on the goals of foreign policy, in which they define priorities, characterize challenges, and present corrections to the policy. Sometimes it is just an ordinary fulfilment of the obligation, which does not provoke greater conflicts or reflections and is presented in the nearly empty hall, but since 2010, after the plane crash near Smolensk, there have been very exciting debates connected with disputes in the Parliament (speeches given by Radosław Sikorski between 2011–2014), also in connection to responsibility for state security. The speeches which were urgent responses to events in the world (Sikorski, 2014) and the ones that were given when new governments came to power: (Cimoszewicz, 2002; Meller, 2006; Sikorski, 2008; Sikorski, 2012; Waszczykowski, 2016) will be particularly relevant to the search for answers to the research problem because apart from presenting current issues the ministers were obliged to discuss four-year for- eign policy assumptions.
